[geeklog-devel] Search result...

[Tony Bibbs]

There was the concept of 'expanded search results' in the work from 
Marc.  I took that out because I wanted to get the highlighting working 
first (last I knew I thought a few minor bugs related to highlighting 
existed).  Adding expanded search would also require notice to plugin 
developers as it would require them to add code if they want to utilize 
that feature.
